The Song

Top Ten
So I was looking online for some jokes about marriage. Some are just mean. There are a lot of very cynical jokes about marriage. Also, some are very sexist—just anti-women. But I found a blog called “funny Christian jokes” that I thought was pretty good. And it contained a Top Ten list of why God created Eve:

60 Years Ago Tonight
Perhaps you heard about the couple that had been married for 60 years. On their anniversary night they went to bed. After they turned the lights out they lay there for a few minutes and then she said: “Walter, do you remember what you did 60 years ago tonight? You gave me a hug.” Walter kind of half heartedly leans over and gives a hug. Then he turns around and tries to go to sleep.

The Great Ice Cream Debate
It’s always fun to start a sermon with a little peek at my life. But, of course, we’re in the middle of a series on marriage, so any story I tell is going to inevitably involve Beth.

So I asked her if she had any examples of things we fight about that I could safely talk about. She gave me the green light for this one.

The Sermon Series on the “Song” Today’s Topic is “Intamacy”
This morning I am just going to say today’s topic was not easy for me to write.

Even though this was a Tough message for me to write, I Really believe God has something for us to learn in this area and apply to our lives.
As I start talking about this area of sexuality that is so filled with brokenness from the world I can’t help but touch on places that will hurt.
